- MINE-FREE GLENALADALE
Mine-Free Glenaladale works with other concerned community groups to raise awareness about proposed and existing mining developments that may impact negatively on the central and eastern catchments of the Gippsland Lakes. These include the proposed Fingerboards mineral sands/rare earths mine at Glenaladale and the Benambra copper mine.
MFG provides support for those who will be impacted by proposed mines by raising awareness about the environmental, economic, social and cultural risks, educating about decision-making processes, providing assistance to participate in the Environment Effects processes, sharing research and scientific information about relevant technical areas, and helping with the preparation of submissions and participation in Panel Hearings.
We are ordinary people – farmers, residents and concerned community members who, as we have become aware of the threats of mining to our catchments, have become accidental activists determined to do what we can to stop any further deterioration to our environment and water systems as a result of unnecessary or inappropriate mining activities. We have been fighting since 2014 to raise awareness of the devastating consequences the proposed Fingerboards mine will have, not just on our families, lives and livelihoods, but also on our regional economy and on our precious environment, including the heritage listed Mitchell River, the Perry River and the Ramsar listed Gippsland Lakes.
